"Chen Diqing, see the saint!"

Di Qing crossed his hand and saluted Li Jing.

"Di Aiqing has worked hard, is it going well to deliver grain to Khitan this time?"

Li Jing smiled slightly, and asked if the Khitan was going well, and wanted to learn about the recent situation of the Khitan through Di Qing.

This is also the reason why he sent Di Qing to send grain to the Khitan, Di Qing was to send grain to the Khitan on the face of it, to appease and relieve the suffering Khitan people.

Secretly, he was actually ordered by Li Jing to investigate the situation of the Khitan, so as to determine whether the Khitan really intended to rebel, and to formulate the next attitude towards the Khitans.

If the Khitan really had bad intentions, Li Jing didn't mind sending troops to destroy them, and then scattered the remaining Khitans and went to the eighteen provinces of the Han Dynasty to live with the locals and completely assimilate these Khitans.

Let the Khitan people be assimilated and disappear in advance, and then migrate the descendants of these people to other places to open up wasteland and contribute to the construction of the Tang Dynasty.

If the Khitan people can obey the restraint policy of the Tang Dynasty and obey the education of the Tang Dynasty, let them maintain their original habits and continue to live in the northeast.

Of course, how to treat the Khitans depends on what Di Qing says.

Di Qing's words determined the future fate of the Khitans.

"It's going well!"

Di Qing replied.

Li Jing frowned when he heard this, and felt that Di Qing had something to say, what does it mean to be quite smooth?

Did you encounter any trouble in the Khitan? It is inconvenient to say it in front of so many people, so it is covered up with vague words.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you step down first, I have something to talk to Di Aiqing alone."

Li Jing cleared his throat, his gaze swept over everyone, and suddenly changed the topic, he wanted to ask Di Qing alone what happened in Khitan.

Xue Ne and the others understood that they didn't want them to listen to what they said next, so they got up and said goodbye and withdrew.

Li Jing turned around and nodded to Wang Haibin, and Wang Haibin immediately went out with Qianniu Wei, guarding the door, not allowing anyone to approach at will.

Even the guards originally arranged by Xue Ne were blown away by Wang Haibin, and there were thousands of Niu guards, and there was no need for the soldiers of the capital to guard the door.

"Now, just me and you, can you tell me, how is the current situation of the Khitan? Did the Khitan really have the intention of rebellion? ”

Li Jing's mind moved, stretched out his hand and beckoned to Di Qing, motioning for him to come and sit down, and explain the Khitan affairs clearly.

Di Qing consciously moved a stool, took two steps forward, and sat in front of Li Jing, about one meter away from Li Jing.

"Sage, this time the minister went to the Khitan to deliver grain, and in the states under the jurisdiction of the Songmo Governor's Office, there are indeed many places affected by the disaster, and the local people are living in difficulty."

"If the imperial court doesn't give relief, there will really be a famine, and the local Khitans will not survive, and they will definitely rebel."

Di Qing reported to Li Jing what he saw and investigated, which showed that the area where the Khitans lived did have a famine because of the serious disaster.

At this time, as long as someone stands up and raises their arms, they will surely gather!

The Khitan people who are about to starve to death, at this time, who cares so much, but there is still a glimmer of life, if not, they will really die.

Fortunately, Li Jing sent a large amount of grain to the Khitan in advance to help the Khitan get through the current difficulties first, and if the upper Khitan nobles did not make trouble, the Khitan people at the bottom would not make trouble.

In this way, the crisis in the north is resolved, and there is no need to worry that the Khitans will rebel.

However, Li Jing believes that it will never be so simple, otherwise, Di Qing will not have something to say!33

If that's all there is, there's no need to get anyone else to back down.

"Nothing else has happened?"

Li Jing asked casually, he believed that what Di Qing was going to say next was the point.

"After the minister finished delivering the food, when he was talking to Li Duzhong, the governor of Songmo, he found that there were several Khitans who wanted to assassinate the minister, but they were all killed by the minister's order!"

Di Qing told Li Jing about the situation at that time.

After Li Jing listened, the fingers of his right hand tapped lightly on the chair, daring to stab in front of the leaders of the eight tribes, these Khitans should not be simple.

Once the envoy sent by the imperial court is assassinated by the Khitans, it will inevitably cause war.

Even if it is framed, the imperial court will definitely launch a war against the Khitan for the sake of face, otherwise, when other barbarians see the weakness of the Tang Dynasty, they will definitely follow the example and kill the envoys of the imperial court.

Therefore, whether it is out of face or the majesty of the Heavenly Empire, the Khitan who dares to murder the messenger of the Son of Heaven must be exterminated.

On the Khitan side, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty died in their place, and they were killed by their Khitans, they either rebelled, or sent all their leaders to Chang'an to apologize!

Li Jing's first thought was that someone wanted to provoke the struggle between the Khitan and the Tang Dynasty, so that the other party could sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman!

Whether it is a rebellion or going to Chang'an to apologize, the Dahe clan will be hit hard, no matter what, Li Quanzhong will be finished, and the prestige of the Dahe clan in the hearts of the Khitan people will also plummet.

The mastermind behind this scene can take the opportunity to replace the Dahe clan and become the new leader of the Khitan tribal alliance.

"Do you think this could be instructed by Li Qianzhong?"

Li Jing looked at Di Qing in front of him and asked lightly.

"The minister thinks that this matter cannot be done by Li Qianzhong."

"Why?"

Li Jing was very puzzled, why was Di Qing so sure, it wouldn't be Li Qianzhong's doing?

If Li Quanzhong wanted to rebel, he would kill the messenger he sent and cut off his own way back, so that he could rebel ruthlessly and tie up all the Khitans to rebel together.

"Judging from Li Quanzhong's look, words and deeds, it is absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing, and it is not good for him to rebel against Datang."

"Even if he Li Quanzhong has the intention of rebellion, why not take advantage of the disaster within the jurisdiction of the Songmo Governor's Mansion and conceal it until there is a famine, and then he will use the excuse that Datang is unwilling to aid the Khitan."

"In this way, it can arouse the hatred of the Khitan people and my Tang Dynasty even more, so that Li Duzhong can be justified and lead all the Khitans to rebel, and all the Khitans will be willing to follow him."

Di Qing conducted a wave of analysis, he felt that it was impossible for Li Quanzhong to do such a thing, and it was useless to oppose Li Quanzhong now.

Li Quanzhong can manage the Khitan in an orderly manner, and it can be seen that Li Quanzhong is not a brainless guy.

Even if Li Quanzhong wanted to kill the messenger of the Son of Heaven, he would not commit murder in front of everyone.

These are Di Qing's guesses, and Di Qing will say so.

"Can Li Qianzhong come to Yingzhou City?"

Li Jing asked, first look at Li Qianzhong's attitude.

"Li Qianzhong said that there are still internal matters that have not been dealt with, and when they are done, he will come to Yingzhou City to meet the saint."

Di Qing knew in his heart that Li Quanzhong didn't come with him because he was worried that he would be hacked halfway.

Some people died, but not completely......
